Forbes Preschool classroom space for therapy and community partners

The preschool operates three classrooms and has space for therapy and community partners.

Our preschool is committed to the NSW Start Strong initiative.

Our Rooms

The room names are Wiradjuri words that have meaning to our programs:

Gindaymanha (gin–day-marna)– means to play/have fun

Yalbilinya (yal-bil-in-ya) – means to learn

Bubadyang (bubba-jung) – means little

Girinya – means to play

At first these names might look quite difficult to pronounce, once you say them a few times they are not hard at all – and you know what? The kids pick them up much quicker than we do!

“The Forbes Community is extremely lucky to have Forbes Preschool and the warm and welcoming environment it provides to children before entering school life. The staff are friendly and make learning fun. My son loves being creative and I feel he can really explore his individuality as well as socialise with other children.

We could not be anymore in love with Forbes Preschool. ”

— Thanks, Emma
